I am 23 and had a blood pressure of 160/101. I took this medicine for one week and during that week developed a night mare of a dry cough. It has been horrible!!! I went back to the doctor and he took me off and prescribed me a new bp medicine that I have not taken yet. I haven't taken lisinopril for about 3 days now and the cough is still taking over my life. I'm not going bowling with my friends tonight because I am so exhausted from the cough. One night, I coughed so violently in bed, I vomited all over myself. It was disgusting and embarrassing. It has been hell and I hope it doesn't take much longer for it to go away. Does anyone have any guesses or experience with the time it takes for this cough to subside?

What drug did he switch you too ? Most likely your couch is coming from the internal hives it gives you down your throat. It should heal & go away drink lots of water will help. I would think with a blood pressure of 160/101 you could cut down on the salt , excersise more and be fine for years to come without anything being just 23 years old. Get a monitor and check it often you will soon learn what helps to keep it down.
